Teamtreehouse Review

I have signed up for a Treehouse Pro account. I will walk you through the features Treehouse provides.

Once you sign up for an account, you will get a message to choose the primary goal for signing up for Treehouse. This will help you choose a track based on your interests.

once you choose an option, You will get the following options to choose from.

If you are new to coding, you will have to start with the very basics of computers and how the web works. So you don’t have to worry if you don’t have any computer science background. The digital literacy track will teach you required basics to get started as a developer.

Since I wanted to learn specific languages, I jumped right into course library for selecting the courses I need. Following are the course libraries to choose from.

User Interface

Treehouse has a great user interface for playing the courses. Every video comes with a video transcript and workspace for running programs. Using workspaces, you can practice coding directly on the browser rather than installing software on your system. Each workspace comes with a file explorer, code editor and a terminal for executing programs. Here is a screenshot of a video window showing a sample workspace.

Downloading Videos

You can download the course videos only if you are pro member. So if you want to have the videos locally and access it without an internet connection, pro account will be the best suit for you.

Teaching Method

Every track is taught by experienced instructors with code examples.

Community and Support

Treehouse has its own active community. You can post questions there to get answers from community members. Also, Treehouse offers support of each track you are going through. You can write to the support team and relevant instructor or technical person will try to solve your problems

Conclusion

Overall I like Treehouse. If you want a guided tech training for coding, it is one of the best online portals you can start with. It also has a flexible pricing model. You can choose for monthly or yearly payments. Before paying for the account, you can signup for the trial account and check if suits your needs.
